Hefner was selected to speak by Wharton students and her lecture is sponsored by the Zweig Executive Dinner Series. Hefner's selection has drawn a great deal of protest from students across the campus. The Penn Coalition Against Sexual Exploitation, formed in response to the lecture, has questioned Wharton's choice of the "ideal modern executive." "Why? has Wharton chosen to celebrate Christie Hefner, an entrepreneur whose product is sexual inequality?" the Coalition stated in a press release. Coalition members said they would be in attendance at today's lecture. -- Kara Blond
